 By editing this file, you can set the [[Dosbox.conf|system settings and initialization values]] that define your emulated environment. You can also add '''MOUNT''' commands to the [[AUTOEXEC]] [[Dosbox.conf#.5Bautoexec.5D|section]] at the bottom of the configuration files, so that you do not have to type them in every time you start DOSBox.

		+
		+	You can create configuration file for individual games. It can hold specific configuration options and even commands for invoking game in the AUTOEXEC section. Then you can run DOSBox with your config by calling following command from terminal:
		+
		+	open -a DOSBox --args -conf path/to/your-config.conf

-This guide will use the [[Version0.73|0.73]] Mac OSX version which is available for [http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 download].  The [[Version0.73|0.73]] release is compiled as a Universal Binary, and will run on PowerPC and Intel based Macs.  To install DOSBox, first expand the [[ZIP Files|.ZIP]] file and copy the contents into a folder like '''<tt>DOSBox</tt>'''.  Move this folder into your '''<tt>Applications</tt>''' folder.

 Now you need to create a folder to [[MOUNT]] as your [[CDrive|C: drive]] and hold your [[GAMES|games]].  The most convenient location for this folder would be your home folder (which can be referenced as '''<tt>~</tt>''').  In This example we will call our folder '''<tt>DOSGAMES</tt>'''.  Inside this folder we can place all of the programs that we want to be available in our emulated DOS environment.  Remember that while these files are buried deep in the file system with paths like '''<tt>~/DOSGAMES/TESTDRV</tt>''', inside DOSBox they appear as though they reside in the root of their mounted drive letter, so the above example in DOSBox would be located at '''<tt>C:\TESTDRV</tt>''' (assuming that '''<tt>~/DOSGAMES</tt>''' was mounted as [[CDrive|C:]]).
